Hearts and Bones

Loving comments about these special Westies from their new guardians...
Bark McGuire, male, born January 1999

McGuire came to us a very loney puppy.  The day we rescued him his little heart was very happy and relieved.  He slept all the way home.  He has blossomed into a major member of our small family.  We love him too much some times.  He has the best demeanor of any dog I have ever known!  He is the smartest dog who has learned our language of love!!  I am sure if he could talk he would say "thank you for saving me" but in truth we thank him for being in our lives.

 ~~ Patrick, Debrah and Bryan Finney 


Ceilidh (Kaylee), female, born March 7, 1991
Ceilidh (Kaylee) is a treasure.  She loves to travel and will go anywhere just to ride in the car.  On rainy days she goes to Longs drugstore and rides in the cart being admired by everyone.  Having her has enriched my life and I couldn't imagine being without her.

~~ Lani Pattison


Princeton MacDuff, male, born April 2, 1999

Princeton is a very happy active Westie, a quick learner.  He has become a great buddy to my 7-year old male Westie, Willy.  He has been with me since November 13th and each week new facets of his personality reveal themselves.  He rides well on long trips to Tahoe.  He does Bark.

~~ Mary Nott


Misty, female, born March 24, 1997
Misty is a rescue dog.  Her rescuers were Pam Evans, Rescue Chairperson SFBWHWTC and her valued sister, Dianne Pritchard.  She is three years old and eleven pounds of dynamite.  She is good with my grandchildren, loves to play and is a good watchdog.  Misty prefers to be with me, but does enjoy her backyard which is fenced from a wild creek area.  A passing antlered deer gave her pause once, but all other critters are warned with barking.  Misty is a very valued family member and friend.

~~ Barbara Stoltz


Max, male, born August 23, 1996 (?)

Max has become a great companion and friend to our family, especially our daughter and our rescued Cairn Terrier (although we don't think the cat is real happy with either dog).  Thank you Pam and SFBWHWTC Rescue for giving us the opportunity to be adopted by Max.  He has won our hearts and us his.

~~ Tracey Poitras and Doug Brott


Angus, male, born June 1, 1994

Angus is the model of the Westie huntsman.  He is the great hunter of squeaks, especially bike horns.  He's always right (just ask him), but is willing to let you discover it on your own.  A bundle of while love waiting to be petted.  An integral part of our family.

~~ Dale and Sheryl Staley


Bailie, male, date of birth unknown
Bailie is a very playful Westie.  He loves his toys and playing ball on the lawn.  He is always ready to greet new people and other dogs.  We are working on obedience training.  Many thanks to Pam Evans for rescuing Bailie from the Humane Society and bringing us together.

~~ Jean and Dave Delwiche


Happy, male, born June 2, 1998

Happy loves to take long walks, lie in the sunshine, play with tennis balls and squeaky toys, have doggie play dates with three female Bichons, give me a "high five" for treats, play "fight and bite" with my Dad and be groomed daily my Mom.  One of the best things about Happy is when I lie down, he snuggles next to me close as he can.  We all feel lucky that Happy found us.

~~ Sarah White


Abby, female, born March 1990

Abby, Dear Abby.... companion.... foot warmer.... comforter.... playmate.... Guard of the yard.... Dowager Queen Abby.

~~ Paul and Kathy Kelley


Burglar, male, born 1990

Burglar is a "one-of-a kind" Westie with his floppy ears, curved tail and tall, lean frame.  He looks unlike most of his breed.  However, his sense of humor, gentility, adventure and loveable affability definitely place him firmly in league with all courageous Westies.  And, like his name, "Burglar", suggests -- he readily steals your heart. 

~~ Brother Gary Morris, S. M.


Nelson, male, born March 1, 1995

When we adopted Nelson 9 months ago, we became his third family in four years.  He had been abandoned by a previous owner and abused by kids.  He didn't like rollerbladers or skateboarders or young children.  With a little work and a lot of love, Nelson now loves our grandchildren and tolerates skateboards and rollerblades.  He has become my constant companion and my "buddy".  His favorite words are "go" and "walk".  Recently we adopted a 7 month old Westie girl (Tessie) who has taught him how to play.  He is even willing to share us with her.  You can often find both of them sitting on the back of the couch, looking our the front window, keeping watch over their domain!

~~Tom and Patricia Tait


Tessie, female, born May 1, 1999

Tessie wants to be everyone's friend.  She loves people (especially children and babies), other dogs and even cats!  She is always alert and has even been caught watching TV!

~~ Tom and Patricia Tait


Maggie, female, date of birth unknown

Maggie is in her second year with our family.  She is no longer a rescued dog but a beautiful, vivacious girl who owns our hearts.  We look forward to many years of the happiness she brings us.

~~ The Kelley Family


Barney, male, born January 15, 1985

Our 15 year old dog, Barney, has been with us for five years now.  He is a wise old man who loves to have his ears scratched.  though his eyes and ears are no longer sharp, his heart and soul continue to make him very loveable.  Barney is very special to our family and we love him very much.

~~ Paul and Carla Pion


Roggie, male, born November 13, 1996

Roggie is a very wonderful, friendly, sweet dog.  He came to me as a mass of scabs and he has blossomed into the Westie we all knew he was.  Every day when I get home, he greets me with excitement and joy, and makes me so happy that he is my dog.

~~ Maria Villa
